Two other players have played this tuba while I was listening. One was Dave Holben, a grad student at the U of A, and an F tuba player. He had no trouble with the horn at all, in fact thought it was a marvelous instrument. The other was a good amateur CC player, and although he got the C to sound, the horn made "burbling" noises and he said it was "fighting back." Both used their own mpcs. Their seems to be a specific technique that must be discovered to play these notes on a German F tuba. I just don't have the time or motivation to find it; I need to just pick the thing up and have it play, which it does just fine on all the other notes.
